Chapter 245: An Inconceivable Gourd

"Even consciousness cannot probe into this gourd—"

Lin Yuan's expression was slightly solemn as he carefully observed the palm-sized gray gourd.

In the vast Universe, many substances are extremely hard,

and extremely difficult to be destroyed, yet very few can block the probing of an Evolver's conscious power.

Conscious power is even harder to detect than World Power and Soul power,

and is a derivative of mental will.

Given Lin Yuan's current mental will index, unless it is a treasure or rare item of the Eighth-Order level,

otherwise, not to mention revealing every detail, he would at least be able to probe seven or eight parts out of ten.

"An Eighth-Order treasure and rare item?"

Lin Yuan stroked the surface of the gray gourd; it felt icy cold with almost no resistance, resembling the touch of some high-end alloy.

"How on earth was it formed?"

Lin Yuan was momentarily unable to tell whether the gray gourd was manufactured Acquired or if it was naturally like this.

"Goddess of Wisdom, do you know what this gourd is?"

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan decisively connected to the Goddess of Wisdom.

As one of the three Ultimate intelligent goddesses of Human Civilization, the Goddess of Wisdom has recorded almost all known substances of humanity.

Be it treasures or rare items,

as long as they have been uploaded by a Human Evolver, they are all recorded by the Goddess of Wisdom.

Therefore,

if you have doubts, look for the Goddess.

This is not just empty talk within Human Civilization.

"Respected Galaxy Star Master, there are no items similar to this object in the database."

The solemn and aloof voice of the Goddess of Wisdom came over.

"No similar items?"

Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.

The Goddess of Wisdom had only conducted a preliminary scan earlier; to carry out a deeper 'identification', the gray gourd needed to be sent to the Central Star Region.

Just because Lin Yuan's will power could not probe into it did not mean Human Civilization could not do so.

However——

Even if it was just a preliminary scan, being able to make the Goddess of Wisdom give an evaluation of having no similar items was extremely rare.

In the more than two million years of the Star Sea Calendar, what have the countless Evolvers of Human Civilization not seen?

Not to mention being identical to the gray gourd, there should at least be quite a few similar ones?

But the result given by the Goddess of Wisdom was none.

"A treasure, this is definitely a treasure."

Lin Yuan reined in his thoughts and looked at the gray gourd in front of him.

For normal items, even if the Goddess of Wisdom had not seen them, she would definitely have information on similar objects.

"This gray gourd, I got it from an alien wanderer?"

Lin Yuan began to recall; the original owner of the gray gourd was actually a Seventh-Order alien wanderer.

Compared to special life forms, alien wanderers prefer to travel across all parts of the Universe. Over time, they basically collect many strange items.

This gray gourd was placed inside the spatial ring of that Seventh-Order alien wanderer, stored together with other sundries of unclear Origin.

Clearly,

that Seventh-Order alien wanderer also failed to discover the special nature of this gray gourd.

Perhaps the other party only noticed that this gray gourd was extremely hard and could block the probing of will power.

Those alien wanderers did not have the 'identification' methods of the Goddess of Wisdom.

In the vast Universe, the appearance of an extra hard object was not a strange matter.

At the very beginning, Lin Yuan did not pay too much attention to this gray gourd, thinking that it might be worth a few pieces of cosmic crystal?

"Hard?"

"Let's see just how hard you are."

Lin Yuan gripped the gray gourd and began to squeeze hard.

Hum.

Terrifying power faintly began to affect the surrounding Void Realm.

You must know that the Physical Body Divine Ability awakened by Lin Yuan is 'Mountain Moving', known as the Force Divine Ability.

With Lin Yuan's current Eighth-Order Martial Dao Physical Body, under the blessing of the Divine Ability 'Mountain Moving', he could easily crush a high-level living planet.

Ordinary Eighth-Order Evolvers could not withstand such a squeeze.

This is the suppression brought by absolute power. Among the Nine Supreme Experts of Human Civilization, one of them is the Ultimate of the Force Rule path. With every gesture, pure power tears apart hundreds of millions of miles of space in the Main World.

That Supreme Powerhouse of the Force Ultimate, along with Supreme Being Xia Qin, are known as the two Supreme Powerhouses with the strongest killing power in the Human Civilization Alliance.

"Hmm?"

"It still blocked it?"

After squeezing with all his might for a moment, Lin Yuan let go of his hand and discovered that not even the slightest mark was left on the gray gourd, his expression changing once again.

Even the Eighth-Order armor he was wearing on his body would leave some traces under such a forceful squeeze.

This was considering that Eighth-Order armor belongs to defensive weapons, but this gray gourd obviously had nothing to do with defense. Could its sturdiness exceed that of Eighth-Order armor?

"I refuse to believe this."

Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred slightly.

Bringing the gray gourd, he came to the Internal World.

Swish.

Today's Internal World has reached an area of over 700,000 miles in radius, integrated with three cosmic rare items, and coupled with Lin Yuan's own comprehension of Dao, it is getting closer and closer to the real world.

"Go."

Lin Yuan tossed the gray gourd in his hand.

In an instant,

the World Power of the Internal World surged majestically, sweeping the gray gourd away.

The terrifying World Power, as if trying to reopen heaven and earth, destroyed the gray gourd from all angles.

However,

no matter how Lin Yuan urged the World Power,

that gray gourd remained motionless, constantly rising and falling under the suppression of the mighty World Power.

"Even World Power can do nothing to it?"

Lin Yuan's expression was solemn. In the Internal World, the strength he could unleash was almost no worse than an Eighth Order Invincible who mastered a certain type of Cosmic Power.

But even so,

he still could not shake that gray gourd.

Lin Yuan even had a feeling that even if he became an Eighth Order Invincible in the future and advanced to the Ninth-Order,

he still wouldn't be able to do anything to this gray gourd.

"This gourd—"

Lin Yuan suddenly felt a bit tricky.

"I'll study it for some more time."

"If I still can't figure it out, I'll directly hand it over to the Goddess of Wisdom in exchange for rewards."

Lin Yuan thought to himself, even if this gray gourd were truly some incredible treasure,

but if he couldn't use it, it would be equivalent to waste, just like its previous owner, who ultimately ended up in his hands.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Not to mention anything else,

just the fact that this gray gourd can resist the crushing of his World Power would probably fetch quite a few rewards, likely worth one or two cosmic rare items?

Over the next few days,

whenever Lin Yuan had free time, he tried various methods.

Since the hard way didn't work, Lin Yuan tried the soft way.

For instance, approaching the gray gourd with his own Soul power.

It was simply useless.

Another example was placing the gray gourd into the Origin ocean of the Internal World.

Certain treasures, such as Primal Refined Gold, have an extreme craving for World Origin power.

But it was still useless.

The precious World Origin power

could not touch the gray gourd in the slightest.

Several days later,

Lin Yuan finally gave up.

"It seems I have no affinity with you."

Lin Yuan stared at the gray gourd, his expression somewhat regretful.

He knew that this gray gourd concealed a major secret,

but simply didn't know how to open it.

Having a treasure mountain in sight yet unable to enter,

this feeling made Lin Yuan's mind complex.

"Should I try dropping blood?"

Lin Yuan suddenly thought in his heart, though he didn't hold out much hope.

Methods like 'blood-drops owner recognition' belonged to very backward means.

Whether in the Human Alliance or among other alien races, Possession is quite common. Many Evolvers, in order to have a higher starting point, even cultivate replicated physical bodies integrated with the Bloodlines of special life forms for their offspring and descendants.

Therefore,

the Physical Body is not fixed,

and the Bloodline is not fixed either.

The Soul and even mental will are the fundamentals.

The method of blood-drops owner recognition is limited solely to Bloodline, and was eliminated by Human Civilization countless years ago.

Methods of owner recognition are basically based on the Soul and depend on mental will.

But right now,

Lin Yuan had no other choice,

and was just trying it casually.

Even if it still didn't work, he wouldn't be surprised.

Hah.

Lin Yuan let out a light breath.

Immediately, he raised his right hand and squeezed out a drop of blood.

With Lin Yuan's current physical strength, unless intentionally squeezed out, his blood would not flow out actively at all.

Drip.

An extremely viscous drop of blood fell onto the gray gourd.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan's expression changed slightly.

Due to the Physical Body Divine Ability 'Rebirth from a Drop of Blood',

Lin Yuan has absolute control over every drop of fresh blood.

No matter how far apart, he can perceive its specific situation.

But just now,

when the fresh blood dripped onto the surface of the gray gourd,

Lin Yuan instantly lost his perception of this drop of blood.

Not only that,

the fresh blood that dripped onto the surface of the gray gourd

rapidly merged into the gourd.

"So it required dropping blood?"

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up as he carefully observed the changes in the gray gourd.

Hum.

Slight fluctuations began to emanate from within the gray gourd.

The moment Lin Yuan felt the slight fluctuations, his mind stripped away from his Physical Body, as if arriving at a boundless crimson-red ocean.

"The Bloodline contains Rebirth power, meeting the opening conditions."

In a trance, a spiritual fluctuation came to Lin Yuan's ears, the meaning of which could be easily understood.

After a long while,

Lin Yuan opened his eyes once again.

"This gourd?"

Lin Yuan looked at the gray gourd in front of him once more.

At this moment, the color of this gray gourd was faintly beginning to change,

no longer grayish, with some crimson-red appearing.

Through the brief contact just now, Lin Yuan knew that a certain special liquid was brewing inside the gourd.

This special liquid has an incredible effect on the transformation of life, but its side effects are extremely large. Only those whose Bloodline contains 'Rebirth power' can attempt to absorb this liquid.

"Rebirth power?"

"It should refer to my Physical Body Divine Ability 'Rebirth from a Drop of Blood'."

Lin Yuan thought silently in his heart.

In fact, once reaching a Seventh-Order Evolver, even if the Physical Body is shattered, as long as the Soul still exists, they can recover.

But that kind of recovery is merely healing and recovery, and definitely does not belong to Rebirth.

What is Rebirth from a Drop of Blood? The blood here does not refer to a single drop of fresh blood, but rather that as long as a trace of the essence of life exists, one can continuously be reborn through it.

Fresh blood is merely the 'medium' carrying the essence of life.

"What kind of transformation on earth actually requires such a prerequisite?"

Lin Yuan's gaze was somewhat amazed. Up until now, Lin Yuan had not yet seen a second Evolver with means similar to 'Rebirth from a Drop of Blood'.

Even Lin Yuan's Physical Body Divine Ability did not come from the Main World, but rather from the Central Earth Divine Continent.

It was just that Lin Yuan comprehended this Divine Ability in the Central Earth Divine Continent World, condensed the Divine Ability imprint, and then brought it back to the Main World.

"Let's see what the actual effect is."

Lin Yuan picked up the gourd, gently shook it, and then turned the gourd spout downward.

After being confirmed by the gourd, Lin Yuan already had the qualification for preliminary use. A moment later, a drop of liquid condensed at the downward-facing gourd spout.

The liquid was crystal clear, presenting a crimson-red color, as if containing a crimson-red ocean.

"Too beautiful—"

Lin Yuan stared at this drop of liquid, his mind faintly beginning to intoxicate. Just watching it like this made it feel as if the entire Cosmic Starry Sky was contained within this drop of liquid.

"According to the information I obtained, I just need to drink it directly?"

Consciousness returned to the outside world, and the gray gourd mixed with crimson-red also returned to the outside world.

That drop of crimson-red liquid was still condensed on the gourd spout.

"The liquid inside the gourd is divided into seven colors according to tiers: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple."

"Only when the crimson-red liquid is completely absorbed and the Physical Body completely transforms will the second color of liquid appear."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

"Let's give it a try."

Lin Yuan's thoughts stirred, and a drop of fresh blood floated out of his body.

According to the information obtained from the gourd, absorbing the liquid required bearing extremely great risks.

With a drop of fresh blood outside, even if something really happened, he could quickly regenerate and come back.

Although Lin Yuan also left fresh blood on the Crimson Kun Main Star, it was too far away.

"Begin."

Lin Yuan steadied his mind and swallowed the drop of crimson-red liquid condensed at the gourd spout.

Rumble.

In an instant,

Lin Yuan began to feel his Physical Body start burning like a flame.

Flesh and blood were burning, internal organs were burning, bones were burning, everything was burning.

Shortly after,

under the Physical Body Divine Ability 'Rebirth from a Drop of Blood', everything that Lin Yuan burned was rapidly recovering.

Just like that, the burning power of that drop of crimson-red liquid and Lin Yuan's Rebirth power began to fall into a stalemate.

Half a day later,

Lin Yuan's Physical Body could no longer hold on, suddenly turning into flying ash.

The effect of the crimson-red liquid disappeared, and the scattered 'flying ash' rapidly began to regenerate, condensing Lin Yuan's figure in a split second.

"What kind of thing is this?"

Before Lin Yuan had time to comment,

he was shocked to find that the Qi and blood circulation and all aspects of his regenerated Physical Body had actually doubled.

A full fold.

Not just ten percent.

Even ten percent would be extremely incredible.

At Lin Yuan's current level, both Physical Body and Soul tend towards the limit. Wanting to undergo transformation and evolution again requires breaking through the existing Realm.

Or taking some precious cosmic rare items.

But even so, the enhancement obtained would not be too large—at most a few tens of percent. As for doubling, Lin Yuan wouldn't even dare to imagine it.

"That's not right."

"It didn't just enhance the Physical Body."

"The Internal World."

Shock appeared in Lin Yuan's expression, and his mind quickly entered the Internal World.

Boom boom boom.

The Internal World was vast and mighty.

The Internal World, which was originally only over 700,000 miles in radius, had now unexpectedly surged to 1.5 million miles in radius.

World Power operated like heaven and earth collapsing, and under the firmament, the sun formed by the cosmic rare item 'Primal Beginning Flame' actually became much 'smaller' at this moment, obviously failing to keep up with the expansion of the Internal World.

"My Internal World? It also doubled?"

Lin Yuan muttered to himself in a low voice, finding it somewhat hard to believe.
